综合运用分子动力学模拟和自由能计算方法研究了苯磺酰胺分子从碳酸酐酶II (CA II)的活性位点脱离过程中底物与酶之间的动态相互作用。脱离过程的平均力势(PMF)显示，底物脱离时存在一个特殊的结合状态。其中，静电相互作用占据了主导地位。轨迹分析显示，除了金属离子的配位作用之外，底物脱离路径上的关键残基Leu198、Thr199和Thr200通过与底物磺胺基的氢键作用阻碍了底物从酶中的脱离。当前的研究对于深入认识磺胺类药物与CA II的详细结合过程和相关的药物改良与设计具有重要的指导意义。%Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and free energy calculations were integrated to investigate substrate-enzyme dynamic interactions during the unbinding of phenylsulfonamide from carbonic anhydrase II (CA II). The potential of mean force (PMF) along the unbinding pathway shows that a special ligand-binding state exists, and the electrostatic interaction dominates the ligandʹs binding with CA II. The analysis of trajectories reveals that, apart from the zinc ion, the key residues in the unbinding pathway, Leu198, Thr199, and Thr200, prevent the substrateʹs unbinding from the enzyme by hydrogen bonding with the sulfanilamide group of the substrate. The present results are of direct significance for the in-depth understanding of the sulfonamide-CA II binding process and related drug design.
